HistoryThe company started their operations in August 1971 at Val d’Or. The services provided were baggage handling and fuel services for all the airlines that requested the services from the company. After several years of operations, the company expanded into cargo handling because of the needs of the Cree communities and the La Grande project. In August 1988, Creeco bought the company. At the end of the La Grande project, the volume of passengers decreased and the airline industry also decreased in the region. While the industry was in decline, the company decided to create a division at the La Grande airport to secure a niche in the aviation field. In Val d’Or and La Grande, the major contract is the food and cargo expedition with the Inuit communities and also different services for mining companies in the north. Throughout the years the company has built a very good reputation in the aviation field. |
